'Here are ten games full of chocolate, hearts and flowers to help you celebrate this day of anonymous cards and general pink fluffiness.'

It’s not entirely clear who St Valentine actually was, but St Valentine's Day is on 14 February, and celebrates love and affection.

Here are ten games full of chocolate, hearts and flowers to help you celebrate this day of anonymous cards and general pink fluffiness.

And if you are fed up of Valentine’s Day already, read the H2G2 entry.

Small but important print: All games are free downloads or free to view online, and need the minimum of equipment.

Some games require your browser to have a 'plug in' for Shockwave, Flash or Java.

To play a game, simply click on its name. If you are a parent, we advise you to try the game and the site it's on first before letting your kids play them, to make sure you're happy.

When downloading games from the Internet, don't forget to keep your anti-virus and anti-spyware software up to date.
